Albion protect their unbeaten record in league and cup on Sunday when they take on Manchester United at Leigh Sports Village (12 noon) in their third WSL game of the season.
Formguide
Albion kicked off their league campaign with a 2-0 win over Birmingham City and a week later held last season's runners-up Manchester City to a 0-0 draw. Last Sunday they drew 2-2 with Birmingham in the Vitality Women's FA Cup, before losing 4-2 on penalties.
United began their league season by holding champions Chelsea to a 1-1 draw before beating Birmingham 5-2 away from home three weeks ago.
Past meetings
The teams met three times last season with United winning twice. They triumphed 4-0 in the first ever meeting between the clubs in November 2019 and then won 2-1 in a Continental Cup quarter-final in January when the Seagulls missed a penalty before Kayleigh Green scored from the spot late on.
The return league game in February finished 1-1 with Aileen Whelan on target for Albion.
One to watch
American World Cup winner Christen Press joined United earlier this month and could make her debut against Albion after undergoing a period of quarantine. The 31-year-old, who operates as a striker or in an advanced midfield role, has won 138 caps for her country. In the 2019 World Cup she played in all seven games for USA including the final and scored in the 2-1 semi-final victory over England. She has joined United from Utah Royals alongside team-mate Tobin Heath.
View from the bench
Hope Powell (Albion Head Coach): "It's another tough away game but after the result and performance against [Manchester] City we will go there with confidence and a game plan which if we execute will hopefully mean we can get another good result. We know they have some good players but it's not about them, it's about how we perform."
